Tummy Tuck—In MIAMI—

What is a Tummy Tuck?

A tummy tuck, also known as abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin and strengthens weak abdominal muscles for a smoother abdominal profile. It narrows the waistline by getting rid of fat cells in the midsection when diet and exercise are not enough.

A tummy tuck can also provide medical benefits include decreasing insulin resistance, improving cardiac and pulmonary function and eliminating skin irritation caused by skin chafing. Abdominoplasty is used to rebuild weak abdominal wall muscles stretched by pregnancy or simply age. It helps to restore your self-confidence and get rid of excess fat and skin. It is a popular procedure, as part of a mommy makeover, to remove loose skin and fat from the abdomen caused by weight gain coincident with pregnancy and childbirth. It is also a great option for patients who have a history of a massive weight loss procedure.

When it comes to a tummy tuck, Zuri Plastic Surgery in Miami, can alter your lifestyle by removing that unwanted excess fat and skin from your stomach and give you a slimmer appearance. This enhances your self-confidence and health.

Types of Tummy Tuck Procedures

There are three types of tummy tuck procedures that help to eliminate skin and fatty tissue around the stomach for men and women. It can be adapted to fit your specific needs and what you are looking to achieve.

1. Extended Tummy Tuck

An extended tummy tuck is used for people who have lost a lot of weight, sometimes due to bariatric surgery. With this option, excess skin and tissues are removed from the stomach as well as the back, hips, and thighs while the muscles in the back, stomach, and flanks are strengthened.

2. Mini Tummy Tuck

A mini tummy tuck concentrates on taking out the excess skin that hangs low in the stomach in the navel area. It corrects laxity and enhances contours but does not treat the abdominal muscles. The procedure usually takes one hour.

3. Traditional Tummy Tuck

A traditional tummy tuck, on the other hand, repairs the abdominal muscles by tightening them while also taking out excess skin and tissue. The belly button can be repositioned as well. The tummy tuck is often combined with other procedures such as liposuction for maximum results, and can go up to three hours. Incisions are made very low across the lower pelvis.
